After Returning from the Sea
Part 1

After returning from the sea we all went back to our solitary lives.
As if we'd made a rule, no one called each other. We just vaguely assumed how the others were doing based on the graffiti we saw in the streets, the bright light of the gas station and from the piano played inside the dilapidated building.

The lodging on the beach was empty when I came back. I wasn't able to find Taehyung after he ran away that night. There was nothing left except a photo on the floor. We were smiling, standing together on the beach. We'd taken the photos hours earlier but it now felt like years had gone by. Had we worked so hard and long for no reason? Were we destined to fall apart like this?

I passed the gas station. I didn't stop this time. We'd all meet each other again someday. Today just wasn't that day. One day I'll have enough courage to face myself.

The wind was heavy with damp humidity as it blew past me. My phone rang then. It was kind of a warning, I think, looking back at it now. Hoseok's name popped up on the screen.

"Seokjin, Jungkook got into an accident."
